They use 55 bottles of Boston Harbor Distillery's distinctive "Putnam Rye Whiskey" to craft this Special Reserve chocolate, giving this bar an intense whiskey flavor like no other! They start by steeping nibs from their award-winning Esmeraldas bar in whiskey for several days, which allows the nibs to absorb the complex flavor notes of the rye. Since chocolate and water don't mix they then allow the nibs to dry completely before putting them in their stone grinders to create this incredible bar. For this bar they also fresh press their own single origin Esmeraldas cocoa butter. This exceptional step makes the bar exceedingly smooth and intensely flavorful... as well as truly single origin.

Maker
Goodnow FarmsGoodnow Farms chocolate is handcrafted in Massachusetts. All the cacao they use is ethically sourced from small farmers and producers that Tom and Monica have met during their travels throughout Mexico, Central and South America. The cacao is carefully stone ground, and conched in small batches. They also press their own cocoa butter for each bar. They admired the concept of single origin bars and capturing the different taste profiles, and uniqueness through each bar. They discovered their love for real craft chocolate after visiting a vintage shop in Los Angeles. Tom and Monica officially created Goodnow Farms in 2016 but have been crafting their creations since 2008. The pair works hard to engage with the communities where they receive their cacao from to ensure farmers are fairly compensated and practice sustainable farming.

Smell is interesting! I don’t have words for it. My closest non-words are “wheaty,” “yellow-green,” “fields,” “late spring,” and “Illinois,” but those are really inadequate. It evokes pleasant things without itself being pleasant? First melt: Has a dry, cutting sort of property, a little dusky in the back of my throat. I’ve tasted this sort of thing before, though I’m not precisely sure where. Sort of round and smooth as it gets going, like a polished marble sphere. At least a little reminiscent of the cask-aged To’ak … has a similar ghostly wet quality. Very soft and pliable on the chew, hardly cracks at all. I feel like I am not learning what whiskey is like. If this chocolate were a dog it would be a big golden farm dog, a year or two past its prime but not yet an “old” dog. Reliable, quiet, hardworking, a little bit slow. World-wise and weary, but not without joy. I definitely like this and want more. It mmmmmaaaaybe goes on The List (of my favorite chocolates), tho we’ll have to see if something else in the lineup beats it.
Excellent taste and aroma
So smooth and chocolatey and this is the first whiskey chocolate that really hit the right chord for me. Well done!
